AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An Aboriginal man stumbles down a Melbourne laneway, pursued by an ancient, malevolent force.'

'As he runs, he can feel the creature’s eyes burning through him – but is he fleeing from the fiend itself, or from the monster he fears he might become?'

'A modern-day reimagining of the bunyip legend, My Lovers’ Bones is a spine-chilling new theatrical work from acclaimed Indigenous storytellers Brown Cab Productions. A fusion of theatre, poetry, physical movement, digital projection and visceral soundscape, My Lovers’ Bones offers a hauntingly beautiful take on a myth both fearsome and misunderstood – the hunter of those who would forget the laws of the land.'
